Is Seeing Red Kosher?
Is Seeing Red Kosher?
By Rabbi Yirmiyohu Kaganoff – RabbiKaganoff.com
Eisav is often associated with the color red, which provides an opportunity for the following halacha question: Is a red food color that is manufactured from animal material kosher? Indeed, the master artisans building the Mishkan used a dye, tola’as shani, which is often assumed to be the “blood” of an insect, in the manufacture of the Kohen Gadol’s vestments. Was this color kosher? This color was also used to dye the curtains and coverings of the Mishkan. In addition, processing the ashes of the parah adumah (Bamidbar 19:6), purifying a metzora and decontaminating a house that became tamei all use tola’as shani (Vayikra 14:4, 49). As we will discover, correctly identifying the tola’as shani not only affects these halachos and those of the Beis Hamikdash, but also concerns a wide assortment of foods and beverages that we eat and drink.
Got an extra $300 per year? VOTE FOR ACCOUNTABILITY, NO ON ISSUE 81
(Reader submitted)
If you value your hard earned money, vote NO on Issue 81. The facts are these: The CH-UH School district is in the top 5 in expenditures per student in the state, averaging $18,461 per student (2010-2011 school year). According to Ohio State Report Cards our school district failed to meet basic standards on State Proficiency Tests. Let me repeat that, our school district received an F on Indicators Met on State Tests. Do you want to continue throwing your hard earned money at failing schools? The school board has failed to justify the money it already taxes us, and now has the audacity to ask for more. This new tax will enrich the teachers’ unions and building contractors, while doing nothing to improve academic standards. There is no justification for it. Vote for accountability, vote NO on issue 81. Yard signs are available, email sholomy@gmail.com.
Chef Dave’s Catering Restaurant Nights
Chef Dave’s Catering is having our next set of Restaurant Nights from Monday, 11/4 through Thursday 11/7 from 5:00 to 7:30. We are often completely booked, so don’t wait to reserve your spot. If you have any special menu requests such as gluten free, vegetarian, or any other special diets, please let us know when you make your reservation so we can accommodate you.
We know that many of you have expressed an interest in some menu changes and we’ve heard you. The challenge we face is that our kitchen was designed for large events, not restaurant style cooking. We are limited in the selection of menu items that we can serve in a timely manner – we really don’t want you to have to wait for your food. We are working on some new items and hope to be able to offer them in early 2014.
Also don’t forget about our upcoming Thanksgiving Dinner and Challah Specials.

Update on Healthy Relationship FREE Seminar With Rabbi Yosef Heinemann
I would like to thank the community for the very positive feedback that I received. Based on the feedback, it has been suggested that I alone give the lecture and couples can come learn and grow at no cost. In addition, an anonymous donor, who recognizes the importance of this work, has pledged to pay the first 15 couples who participate $20 for carfare babysitting or whatever.
You know, I got a new car a little while ago and after some time the brakes weren’t working so well. I went to the mechanic and he told me “Yeh, brakes wear out and you need new ones” I was beside myself! This is what happens to a good car? He said “Yeh, it’s just regular maintenance.

Susan’s Suggestions for the Elections – Tuesday November 5, 2013 (Updated)
(Click here to download as an easy-to-print PDF) (Ed: Voting suggestions and voting guides are welcomed from other readers too!)
Includes updated information with regard to Issue 80 based on reader feedback and further research.
As always, I offer these suggestions because of the importance of casting an informed vote. For our community to count, our votes must be countable, and we have a responsibility to our greater community and a mitzvah to show up and vote. Local elections in many ways effect our daily living in an up close and personal way and are therefore just as important if not more so than national ones. However, unlike national elections, absentee ballot request forms will not automatically be mailed to your home. Those requests can be made through Board of Elections, or else plan to show up at your precinct on Election Day.
By popular demand, in order to make viewing easier, this guide consists of two sections: The Quick Voting version followed by the Expanded Explanations.

Now Your Kids Can Also Learn the Daf
(Ed: I saw this recently and thought it was a cute and effective concept, but have not tried it since my oldest is not ready for Daf Yomi :>. One of the most beautiful things about Torah is its ability to connect different generations and this certainly tries to do this.)
Daf Yomi 4 Kids is a printable monthly e-publication (in PDF format) for children ages 6 to 14 that follows the Daf Yomi cycle established by Rabbi Meir Shapiro in 1923. Each double sided page of Daf Yomi 4 Kids corresponds to the daf (Talmud folio) being studied in Daf Yomi. Click here for a sample of the first issue.
Daf Yomi 4 Kids has won the esteem of top rabbis and Jewish educational experts.
The colorful, easy-to-understand content of Daf Yomi 4 Kids ensures it will be a hit with children and educators alike. Children will be so captivated they will not even realize they are learning!

URGENT: Many families without heat and power for Shabbos
Due to the recent storms many families are without power and are unlikely to have the power returned any time soon.
An effort is being organized to solicit families able to host as well as families requiring hosting. The need is great and many local community organizations are being stretched to their limits to help. In particular, Cleveland Heights residents seem to be hit particularly hard.
Please contact Mrs. Drazin if you can offer a place or if you need one, or if you can cook for Shabbos.
Housing and food situations are available so do not be shy to ask!
Try these numbers: 216-321-9393, 216-321-9614, or 216-409-6804. Whatever you can do will make a big difference!
